Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

This time the child fell out of the cradle and hit his little head on the steps of the eaves. The hard stone instantly turned bright red. Aunt Lan stood there motionless as if someone had fixed her acupuncture points.

Mrs. Lu was also stunned. She moved towards the child, but the bright red bloodstains made her dare not touch it. The child's face was deathly pale. Even without checking, she knew that the child would not survive. She closed her eyes, and the hatred in her heart became more rampant. This was Shen Yunyi's only child and her only hope, and now it was gone.

"Now that the child is gone, are you happy? She was Yun Yi's only child. Why were you unwilling to let her go and return to the Shen family with me? Why were you unwilling to let her recognize her ancestors? It was you who killed her, it was...ah!"

"lady!"

Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Lu screamed and felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. The servants rushed over in an instant. Mrs. Lu slowly turned around and saw that the hairpin in Aunt Lan's hand was stuck in her shoulder.

"Bitch, beat her to death!"

With Lu's order, these old women started to kill. Aunt Lan also tried her best and wrestled with everyone. But even if she tried her best, it was useless. In the end, she was pinned to the ground and beaten with fists and kicks. In less than a cup of tea, Aunt Lan was already dying.

"What bad luck! Die! Die together, mother and daughter!"

Lu's shoulders had been wrapped with cloth by the servants. The group of people did not stop and escorted Lu out of the yard.

The only purpose of their coming today was to get the child, but now the child is gone and Mrs. Lu is injured. They have lost both the wife and the army, and have gained nothing after all the trouble.

Just as Mrs. Lu left, a white figure walked into the yard. Aunt Lan forced herself to open her eyes, which were swollen from being beaten, and looked. Shen Nanyue's slender reflection was imprinted in her eyes. Aunt Lan slowly closed her eyes again, her body completely relaxed, without even moving her fingertips.

"Lan, long time no see!"

"Are you here to laugh at me? If you've had enough, get out!"

"Do you remember when you drugged my grandmother and framed my mother?"

"So what if I was the one who poisoned you... cough cough cough... Shen Zongyuan didn't even pursue the matter, so what can a dead girl like you do to me? Get out of here now."

"It's time to settle this account today, isn't it?"

"Heh... If you're so reluctant to leave, why not stay? I'll introduce you to some patrons to play with."

Aunt Lan opened her eyes and tried to sit up, but the pain in her abdomen prevented her from moving. After trying for a while, she gave up and lay there like a piece of rag.

However, her words did not make Shen Nanyan angry. Instead, a sharp dagger appeared in her palm. The cold light on the blade shone dazzlingly in the sun. Aunt Lan seemed to understand what Shen Nanyan meant by "ending".

"What do you wanna do?"

"You had Shen Zongyuan protecting you before, but now, who can protect you?"

"No, no, no, you... me, the poisoning incident... that incident..."

Shen Nanyan didn't want to listen to her sophistry, and the sharp knife was inserted into Aunt Lan's chest. Blood gushed out from the broken wound. Aunt Lan opened her eyes wide, her eyeballs bulged, and she made a whimpering sound from her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

But the dagger was not pulled out, but continued to be inserted, and with ruthless rotation, it tore the wound over a larger area.

"You two, mother and daughter, don't be in a hurry to reincarnate. Wait for Shen Rongying to come together. As a family, we should always be together as a whole."

The calmness on Shen Nanyan's face did not look like she was going to kill someone, but more like she was chatting with someone. Aunt Lan slowly died in unwillingness and hatred, and her body began to get cold. Shen Nanyan pulled out the dagger and put it back in an instant. Before leaving, she put a small piece of brocade corner in Aunt Lan's palm, and then disappeared in the courtyard.

In the evening, Mrs. Lu returned to the Shen family. Her shoulder was seriously injured, and Aunt Lan also killed her. She lay in the clinic for half a day. As soon as she returned to the yard, Shen Lingxi came in.

Tomorrow is the day when Shen Lingxi enters the palace. Naturally, the mother and son have endless things to talk about. In addition to the disability caused by the injury on Shen Lingxi's leg, there is also her incomplete body and the arrangements after entering the palace.

"Now that your brother is gone, there will be no place for us mother and daughter to stand in the Shen family in the future. So after you gain favor, you should speak more for your uncle in front of the emperor. After all, he is my biological brother. In the future, he will be in the front court and you will be in the harem. With your mutual support, our Lu family will definitely be more powerful than before. If you have another prince, just think about it. The future of Nanling Kingdom will be ruled by our Lu family. Xier, mother is relying on you, you must do your best!"

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely make you the most honorable lady in Shangjing City."

"Go to the palace and win my favor. This Shen Mansion will belong to me in the future. I will kill everyone here, including your father. Everyone, must die!"

"Mom, Shen Nanyan, don't let her die. I'm going to give her to Yue Hanzhou and have someone torture her every day. I'm going to make her live a life worse than death."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. By the way, I heard that Yue Hanzhou has syphilis. Is that true?"

"It's all because of that evil spirit Tang Manrou. I don't know where she got this disease."

"If Yue Hanzhou hadn't touched Tang Manrou, how could he have contracted the disease? You should stop associating with him from now on."

"He's almost recovered. General Yue has hired a famous doctor. Mother, don't worry."

"My child, am I worried about that? I'm worried that if the palace finds out, you'll be beheaded. Then you'll be all I have left. Xi'er, you can't ruin your life for Yue Hanzhou!"

"Mother, the emperor is an old man after all, and I am unwilling to accept it."

"But there's still the Third Prince. Why must he be Yue Hanzhou?"

"Don't mention the Third Prince anymore. He came to me and asked me to help him become the Crown Prince, otherwise he would reveal that I am not a virgin."

"This...this is being manipulated!"

When Shen Lingxi entered the palace for the selection, the third prince never showed up. It was only after the imperial edict from the palace reached each family that the third prince found Shen Lingxi and mentioned the matter. At this time, Shen Lingxi's name was already on the emperor's desk. If the fact that Shen Lingxi was not a virgin was exposed, it would be deceiving the emperor, which could be a big deal or a small matter. However, Shen Lingxi had no other chance. She could only turn things around by entering the palace this time, so she could only agree to the third prince's proposal.

The mother and daughter discussed it and decided that this was an option!

After all, Shen Lingxi had such a history with the Third Prince. If the Third Prince really ascended the throne, Shen Lingxi would have contributed to it. By then, it would be much better for her to be awarded a concubine title than to enter the palace now and start from a young age.
